.... but 1 Oz powder behind a 1 inch ball will drive it 7" into an oak log!
Finally got a chance to got out cannon-shootin fer the first time this year 'n' found a 10 inch oak log at the range. First shot buried itself in the log; second shot kind'a hit a bit to the side 'n' tore a chunk off; third round split the log in two. I found the first cannon ball on the ground (in near perfect condition) and, with the log split, I could see the hole bored by the first shot.
Think I found a new way to split me firewood :mrgreen:
Did I mention I finally got 'round to puttin steel tires on me cannon? Yup, she's complete now.
I got some good video of the log-splittin (VHS). If I ever figger a way to get it into me confuser, I'll post it somewhere.
Ya know, as much as I love Cowboy Action Shooting, I could
really get inta this cannon shootin :shock:
